Sons and Lovers - D.H. Lawrence

This quote was added by malevolarky
She was horrified, yet rather fascinated. She wanted to see what the boy would do. He made an altar of bricks ... poured on a little paraffin, and set the whole thing alight. He watched with wicked satisfaction the drops of wax melt ... and drop like sweat into the flame. So long as the stupid big doll burned he rejoiced in silence. At the end he poked among the embers with a stick, fished out the arms and legs, all blackened, and smashed them under stones.
